Current Scholars | Undergraduate Training Program in Biomedical Research

	Ann Austin Ann Austin is a second year biomedical engineering student at NJIT and a researcher at Advanced Biofabrication Lab. She is a part of U-RISE Fellowship and is interested in continuing her graduate studies in pharmaceutical engineering.
	Allison Harbolic Hello my name is Allison Harbolic and I am a second-year biology major with a minor in psychology. I am interested in the fields of developmental biology and rehabilitation sciences and I hope to one day get a PhD in those areas. I applied for the U-Rise program because the program helps guide students like me on their journeys to graduate school. I am super excited to start in the program this semester!
	Owen West I am interested in how improvements in structural biology and molecular modeling can drive innovation in drug/medicine discovery. I hope to make an impact in how scientists approach drug discovery, utilizing discoveries in computational biology, structural biophysics, and more. I am also fascinated by protein binding phenomena, and also hope to develop a deeper understanding of how proteins in the body are agonized and antagonized." Let me know what you think!
	Gabrielle Uskach I am a second-year biology major with a minor in chemistry in the Albert Dorman Honors College. I am currently a researcher in the Advanced Biofabrication Lab, where I am developing my skills and passion for cancer research and pharmaceutical engineering. The U-RISE program stood out to me because of its unparalleled support and guidance, which I know will help me build a strong foundation for my academic and professional journey. I am incredibly excited to see where the next three years will take me.
	Ashley Jacas In addition to expanding my knowledge of immunology, I would like to learn more about how the immune system functions in relation to endocrinology, and I am curious about how these diseases are treated using the immune system.
